Chapter 40
Zachary and Serenity were merely a married couple on paper anyway. Even if the alcohol was getting to Zachary’s head, he did not need Serenity to tend to him. God knew if she would take advantage of him while he was intoxicated.
At the age of thirty, Zachary had not lost his first kiss to anyone.
Much less, had the sanctity of his modesty violated.
Romance had never been in the cards for Zachary.
Nana often called him a loveless and passionless man, but because of his lackluster expectation toward love, Zachary married Serenity to get Nana off his back.
Despite searching all his pockets, Zachary could not find his house keys. He said, “… Jim, maybe you should wake the missus.”
It appeared that he had left home without his keys.
The bodyguard immediately pounded on the door.
Although Serenity was asleep, she was a light sleeper, and the pounding woke her up. She pricked up her ears and realized someone was at the door. As she got up to see who it was, it dawned on her that she was in her pajamas. Serenity pulled out a winter jacket from the
wardrobe to put on before proceeding to open the door. With the door swung open, Zachary and Jim were stunned to see Serenity in a thick winter jacket.
It was October right now. Sure, the mornings and nights were breezy, but it was still sweltering during the day.
It did not seem like the right occasion to put on a winter jacket.
“Hello, I’m the designated driver from a chauffeuring service. Your husband is drunk, so I walked him up.”
It was a good thing Jim was quick to think on his feet and come up with a lie. He handed Zachary along with the car keys to Serenity.
Serenity thought she was knocked over by a mule. Zachary was heavy!
“Thank you, Mister.” Serenity said to Jim. “No problem.” Jim stole a glance at Mr. Zachary before slipping away. After closing and locking the door, Serenity steadied Zachary’s staggering footsteps as they walked into the house. She nagged at him, “Why did you drink so much? You stink of alcohol.”
Zachary remained quiet but whined inwardly instead, Whose fault was it anyway? You!’

The readers' comments on the novel: Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary)
Don’t really like Evan & Abby story she lied and everyone is taking her side he can’t help he’s a little slow...
I don’t know if you all realize this but at the end of each chapter it asks for the number to be verified in box and you get more of the chapter. I just figured it out last week. Although chapter 4275 caption # was 5098 if kept rejecting that # when verified. I do to wish this was a completed book. But is this like a soap opera in some country? Anyway, I love that Tatum has told Elora that she is who he is persueing....
